The detail
Environment
Ursa Major publicly states a commitment to using plant-derived and naturally sourced ingredients, and the brand markets its formulations as free from parabens, sulfates, silicones, synthetic fragrance, and PEGs. The company has published limited formal environmental reporting; no publicly available sustainability report with quantified emissions, energy use, or water consumption data has been identified. Ursa Major has communicated a preference for recyclable packaging materials on its website, though independent third-party verification of packaging claims is not publicly documented. Comprehensive data on supply chain environmental impacts, carbon footprint, or waste reduction programs is not available in public sources.
Labor
Ursa Major is a small independent company, and detailed public information on its labor practices, supply chain transparency, worker safety records, or diversity reporting is limited. The company does not appear to publish a formal supplier code of conduct or supply chain audit results in publicly accessible documents. No labor certifications such as SA8000 or Fair Trade have been identified for the brand. Given its scale as a small Vermont-based company, formal modern slavery act disclosures or structured DEI reporting have not been identified in public sources.
